Create or Update Asset Spatial Data via GIS
Introduction
Assetic is able to record the spatial location of an asset.
The spatial location information simplifies locating the asset within mapping applications such as Google Maps. It also enables Assetic to provide advanced spatial operations such as searching for assets within the radius of a point. The source of the spatial location data usually originates from the Geographic Information System (GIS) used within the organisation.
Bulk Import via Data Exchange
For large volumes of spatial data, a bulk import process is the preferred method of importing spatial data. The article Bulk Create Update Spatial Data describes how to prepare the data for upload via the Data Exchange. The article Create New Assets from GIS Data outlines the typical process for using Data Exchange in conjunction with the GIS.
Per Asset Import via API
The Assetic REST API endpoint PUT /api/v2/assets/{id}/location may be used to create/update the spatial record per asset, where {id} is the Assetic asset internal GUID. The article Create or Update Asset Spatial Data describes the usage of this endpoint and examples of the payload structure.
